Not that I've given up on Josh Green. I just think the % chance JG is a good rotation player <<<<<<<< the % chance the guy they could have gotten for the #18 pick would be a good rotation player.
You could argue that you should just trade every first round pick for a future round pick and just gather them up cashing them in once every 5 years for a very good player.
Do you like your odds better of hitting on 5 first round picks in 5 years or do you think you would do better trading them all for one player (presumably one you would have rights to for 3-5 years at least)? Your chance of hitting on a star or even upper tier starter are probably better with the pick gathering strategy.
